Have a mean, green Halloween

Costumes and candy and crepe paper, oh my. You’ve been preparing for weeks, and now the hour is drawing near for the big night! Before your little tricksters head out for their treats, make your Halloween a green one. It’s not too late to make it a healthier celebration, for you and planet Earth.

Quick and Green

Any chef could use a time saver or two…especially a time saver that doesn’t sacrifice the taste or flavor of your food.

Steaming/Boiling Multitasking:

A simple trick...when you are boiling pasta, take a colander and place it over the boiling water to steam whatever vegetable you might need to cook.

Saves time, saves energy, saves water...another way to go green in the kitchen...while steaming up something green.
